Yes, there is a way to speed up a recording. If you import the file to Audacity, you go into the Effects tab and select Change Tempo. This will speed up or slow down a recording without changing the tone of voice. I usually slow my recordings down 2%, but you can experiment with it to see what works for you.

Thanks for pointing out the speed-up and slow-down option on Audacity. Too bad it's not available to listeners as it is on Audacity. My wife loves that feature and speeds up just about everything she listens to there. She regrets she can't speed me up online! (Is she trying to tell me something? )

14 is a long one at 43:13. I did it in 3 days, one each for morning, afternoon, and night.

Just 3 chapters to go, and I think this time I'm really done with WWI But, what's the saying, never say never?
